| Shindo? Rcprince,No one could argue with your sound advice, home auditioning if possible is always the ideal way to proceed, problem it's often easier said than done. I am somewhat surprised that their 40 W amplifier would struggle with a 90 db speaker, i... | |
| IC Shootout: Wywires, Shindo, DanaCables & Ziro Hi Cfluxa, That was a very nice review you have written. As you are aware I had the opportunity to listen to the Ziro IC and speaker cables in my system recently. I was very impressed with them and think they are an excellent product. I thought th... | |
| Shindo? Simao,Shindo offers amplifiers of various power ratings, I would think there would be an amplifier in their lineup that would be suitable for your speakers. I would look more deeply into this situation, you may be glad you did.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rebbi,As many of us have learned through experience, there are many ways to skin a cat. And there is also much to be said for same brand synergy. Products from the same Company that are presumably Voiced to work together in an excellent fashion. I... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Keithr,That's why at the end of the day it always reverts to what we like. If you're suggesting that SS amps are less distorted and thus sound better, I just respectfully disagree. Despite the many highly revered SS amps I've heard, none (so far) ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Swampwalker,You don't have to spend anywhere near that kind of money to reach the SPLs Ralph prefers. I could do that easily with my former transistor and PP tube amplifiers. I didn't want to listen that loudly. I am able to go 95-100 db easily wi... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Brownsfan and Seikosha,You both make excellent points concerning SPL preferences. This is strictly personal and all of us have our comfort levels. Ralph to suggest that just because one chooses moderate/reasonable SPL is somehow missing out on tru... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps As Rob, Grannyring and I have mentioned previously, our typical listening volume is 75 to 85 db. At this level power required is less than 1 watt (actually fractions of 1 watt) for our speakkers. Distortion is miniscule, resolution/detail retrieva... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Tubegroover,There's absolutely no offense taken by any stretch of the imagination. We're just all sharing our varied experiences and opinions. The irony for me is that the SET ownere here as a group are about as an experienced bunch you'll ever fi... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Grannyring,Agree, the same rating doesn't mean they're the same amplifier by any means.Pehare if the Dynamo didn't suit your needs then yes you should move on. One point though, don't confuse the Dynamo with the Frankenstein. Yes they're both 8 wa... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rob,You make many logical points. SETs aren't unique in requiring some thought and planing regarding synergy and component matching. As you cite this is true for virtually all audio product to ensure successful outcomes. If you like Maggie speaker... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes Fla,Based on Matthias's favorable comments you're fine with the standard Elrog ER 300b.Charles, | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps I'd imagine that the vast majority of SET owners had a variety of different amplifiers prior to discovering SETs, this is true in my case. At some point with experience under our belt we realize what sounds preferable to us individually. To state ... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Mapman,It seems you've missed the fundamental point of this current topic. "keep it real"? that's what I and other SET users have been doing. We couldn't be more clear in stating that SETs require appropriate speaker matching. Once achieved, you c... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps Rebbi, I'm a former trumpet player(began at age 10).though I don't play anymore I still have 2 horns (trumpet and cornet) for sentimental reasons. |
